Course price and content of on-site courses

The course was developed particularly NOT to require the use of an SDL tool. The reasons for this were to meet the requirements of clients buying SDL tools that:

• wanted to separate the learning of the language from learning how to drive the tool;
• only had 1 or 2 user tool licences so that it was not practical to use the tool in a course for 6 or more people.

The price includes all documentation (including examples and example solutions). Each delegate receives: classroom notes, a copy per delegate of the book 'Systems Engineering using SDL-92' which currently retails over 250 Dfl(dutch guilders). The book itself can be ordered online direct from the publisher.
